The 40000 Damage Build or: how I learned to stop worrying and enjoy the update

[Sseths Sex Slave]

Did you ever wanted to deal 40k dmg in one round? Well then this build could be for you.

First of all let us clear some things up:

you can't deal all the dmg to one single Target, in order for it to work properly
Everything is pure hypothetical, never tested this out
Theres a possibility that I screwed some calculations up
Its a Lowlife build so its super squishy
I ignored Accuracy for calculations

But I don't care.


How to use this build:

First you kill 2 targets with your Sniper Rifle, while Shooting Spree resets your AP back. Aimed Shot deals an avg. of 2015 dmg and a regular sniper shot deals 1236 dmg. Fight Response and Psycho-temporal Contraction boost your AP up to 80, so with your Assault Rifle you can fire 2 Burst, with 9 Shots each. In order to get the third Burst, you have to Trigger Commando.

Use Precognition and Stasis (on you) for defense, also you can invest into Psychokinesis.

Options:

You can easily swap out: Sharpshooter/Opportunist/Suppressive Fire for something else. (Premeditation, Last Stand and Force User seem valuable)
Put 90 Points from TM and 10 from Lockpicking into Psychokinesis for Forcefield and Stuns.
Put 4 Spec. Points into Psychotemporal Acceleration in order to reload reliably.

2000dmg is totally doable with a single sniper shot. But you only have 12 per, you would want at least 16.
I found this sniper with AR build online with a whole guide integrated, finished the game with it on hard and I had an easy time all the way in, one shot the final boss.

Why do i want at least 16 Perception? just use a Bipod!

This is pre-crit power nerf, but I figure it can still do about 40k.
